What do you do after you get a string of Emmy nominations? Leave your parent's home, of course. Lena Dunham, who received four noms in 2012 for acting, writing, and directing, left the nest for a Brooklyn co-op that's modest by New York — and celebrity — standards. Abodes of Emmy stars, though, tend toward the lavish — if not in square footage, at least in price tag. Take your shoes off at the door and check out these celebrity cribs.

Claire Danes

Claire Danes, Greenwich Village townhome

The oft-nominated actress, once again in best actress contention for "Homeland" this year,

shopped for a home for Christmas last year. Space may be scarce in New York, but her young family should have room with 3,640 square feet, 12-foot-high ceilings, and both a courtyard and rooftop garden, all for a reported purchase price of $6.876 million.
